How to.
« on: September 21, 2010, 10:27:38 AM »
Put a damper on the Sajisa`s breeding ?
Could I just take out all the cave`s and that stop them ? or do I have to separate them ?.
Thinking of next time, there fry are doing well, can`t say as much for rest of fish in tank though.
And with no extra tank to put them in am not sure that to do at this point.
Might have sale the female.  :-\

separation is the only answer I'm afraid Katt.

To stop fry is easy, add a good predator but that doesn't stop the breeding aggression

pity you had to rehome her Katt but its probably for the best considering how well they managed to defend their eggs/fry

Katt you did what was best for all of your fish. That's responsible fish keeping!
This is getting expensive! I think I\\\'m gonna need a 2nd job to support my fish habit.

But am not going to do anything about them.

I see you have the issue solved, I was going to make some smart arse comment like "stop changing the water" but I was too late for the humor to be effective LOL. Glad to see you did the right thing, even if it's tough to do sometimes...
